Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
1. General
Alliance Bankshares Corporation (Bankshares or Company) is a bank holding company that conducts substantially all its operations through its subsidiaries. Alliance Bank Corporation (the Bank) is state-chartered and a member of the Federal Reserve System. The Bank places special emphasis on serving the needs of individuals, small and medium size businesses and professional concerns in the greater Washington, D.C. Metropolitan region, primarily in the Northern Virginia submarket.
In March 2001, the Bank formed Alliance Home Funding, LLC (AHF). AHF is a wholly-owned mortgage banking subsidiary of the Bank and originated residential mortgages for subsequent sale. AHF did not maintain the servicing rights on mortgages sold. On December 27, 2006, Bankshares announced it would no longer offer mortgage banking operations via AHF. The company is now inactive. Alliance Bank Mortgage Division (ABMD) was created in 2007 as a division within the Bank. From time to time, ABMD may offer mortgage banking products and services to Bank clients and some additional third party clients. In 2010 and 2011, ABMD had minimal operational activity. As of March 31, 2011, this division within the Bank is inactive.
On June 26, 2003, Alliance Virginia Capital Trust I (Trust), a Delaware statutory trust and a subsidiary of Bankshares was formed for the purpose of issuing Bankshares’ trust preferred debt.
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements reflect the financial condition and results of operations of Bankshares on a consolidated basis and have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP) for interim financial reporting. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated. In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments and reclassifications of a normal and recurring nature considered necessary to present fairly Bankshares’ financial position as of March 31, 2011, December 31, 2010 and March 31, 2010, the results of operations for the three month period ended March 31, 2011 and 2010, and cash flows and changes in stockholders’ equity for the three month period ended March 31, 2011 and 2010. The notes included herein should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and accompanying notes included in Bankshares’ Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC).
Operating results for the three month periods ended March 31, 2011 and 2010 are not necessarily indicative of full year financial results.
Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 718-10, “Stock Compensation”, requires companies to recognize the cost of employee services received in exchange for awards of equity instruments, such as stock options and nonvested shares, based on the fair value of those awards at the date of grant. Compensation cost has been measured using the fair

5


Table of Contents

value of an award on the grant date and is recognized over the service period, which is usually the vesting period.
As of March 31, 2011, there was $126 thousand of total unrecognized compensation expense related to stock options, which will be recognized over the remaining requisite service period which is estimated to be five years or less.
Stock option compensation expense is the estimated fair value of options granted amortized on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period for each separately vesting portion of the award. The fair value of each grant is estimated at the grant date using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. There were no grants of stock options for the first three months of 2011.
Stock option activity for the three months ended March 31, 2011 is summarized below:

2. Fair Value Measurements
Bankshares uses fair value measurements to record fair value adjustments to certain assets and liabilities and to determine fair value disclosures. In accordance with the Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures topic of Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB), ASC 820-10, the fair value of a financial instrument is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. Fair value is best determined based upon quoted market prices. However, in many instances, there are no quoted market prices for Bankshares’ various financial instruments. In cases where quoted market prices are not available, fair values are based on estimates using present value or other valuation techniques. Those techniques are significantly affected by the assumptions used,

Table of Contents

including the discount rate and estimates of future cash flows. Accordingly, the fair value estimates may not be realized in an immediate settlement of the instrument.
The fair value guidance provides a consistent definition of fair value, which focuses on exit price in an orderly transaction (that is, not a forced liquidation or distressed sale) between market participants at the measurement date under current market conditions. If there has been a significant decrease in the volume and level of activity for the asset or liability, a change in valuation technique or the use of multiple valuation techniques may be appropriate. In such instances, determining the price at which willing market participants would transact at the measurement date under current market conditions depends on the facts and circumstances and requires the use of significant judgment. The fair value is a reasonable point within the range that is most representative of fair value under current market conditions.
Fair Value Hierarchy
In accordance with this guidance, Bankshares groups its financial assets and liabilities generally measured at fair value in three levels, based on the markets in which the assets and liabilities are traded and the reliability of the assumptions used to determine fair value.
    Level 1 — Valuation is based upon quoted prices for identical instruments traded in active markets.
    Level 2 — Valuation is based on observable inputs including quoted prices in active markets for similar assets and liabilities, quoted prices for identical or similar assets and liabilities in less active markets, and model-based valuation techniques for which significant assumptions can be derived primarily from or corroborated by observable data in the market.
    Level 3 — Valuation is generated from model-based techniques that use significant assumptions not observable in the market. These unobservable assumptions reflect our own estimates of assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. Valuation techniques include use of option pricing models, discounted cash flow models and similar techniques.
A financial instrument’s categorization within the valuation hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement.
The following describes the valuation techniques used by Bankshares to measure certain financial assets and liabilities recorded at fair value on a recurring basis in the financial statements:
Trading and Available-for-Sale Securities — Trading and available-for-sale securities are recorded at fair value on a recurring basis. Fair value measurement is based upon quoted market prices, when available (Level 1). If quoted market prices are not available, fair values are measured utilizing independent valuation techniques of identical or similar securities for which significant assumptions are derived primarily from or corroborated by observable market data. Third party vendors compile prices from various sources and may determine the fair value of identical or similar securities by using pricing models

that consider observable market data (Level 2). Financial assets and liabilities that are traded infrequently have values based on prices or valuation techniques that require inputs that are both unobservable and significant to the overall fair value measurement. These inputs reflect management’s own view about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability (Level 3). As a result, some of our securities are hand priced using customary spreads over similar maturity treasury instruments.
FHLB Advances and Time Deposits — Under the fair value accounting standards, certain liabilities can be carried at fair value. The designated instruments are recorded on a fair value basis at the time of issuance. As of March 31, 2011, Bankshares had one wholesale liability as a fair value instrument: a long-term Federal Home Loan Bank (FHLB) advance.
Wholesale instruments are designated as either Level 2 or Level 3 under the ASC 820-10 fair value hierarchy. Level 2 liabilities are based on quoted market prices using independent valuation techniques for similar instruments with like characteristics. This information is deemed to be observable market data. Level 3 liabilities are financial instruments that are difficult to value due to dysfunctional, distressed markets or lack of actual trading volume. Management gathers certain data to value the instrument. Data include swap curves, option adjusted spreads and discounted cash flows. These data points are modeled to reflect the fair value of the liability.
The following table presents the balances of financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of March 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010:

models using widely available and industry standard yield curves. Although there are positive signs in the economy, the market is continuing to act in an unusual manner; therefore, management is continuing to monitor certain instruments using additional inputs as well as implementing its strategy to reduce the fair value portfolio. Changes in fair values associated with fluctuations in market values reported above are reported as trading activity and fair value adjustments on the Consolidated Statements of Income.
Certain financial and nonfinancial assets are measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis in accordance with GAAP. Adjustments to the fair value of these assets usually result from the application of lower-of-cost-or-market accounting or write-downs of individual assets.
The following describes the valuation techniques used by Bankshares to measure certain financial and nonfinancial assets recorded at fair value on a nonrecurring basis in the financial statements:
Impaired Loans. Loans are designated as impaired when, in the judgment of management based on current information and events, it is probable that all amounts due according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement will not be collected. The measurement of loss associated with impaired loans can be based on either the observable market price of the loan or the fair value of the underlying collateral, if any. Collateral may be in the form of real estate or business assets including equipment, inventory, and accounts receivable. The vast majority of the collateral is real estate. The value of real estate collateral is determined utilizing an income or market valuation approach based on an appraisal conducted by an independent, licensed appraiser outside of Bankshares using observable market data (Level 2). However, if the collateral is a house or building in the process of construction or if an appraisal of the real estate property is over two years old, then the fair value is considered to be Level 3. Impaired loans allocated to the allowance for loan losses are measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis. Any fair value adjustments are recorded in the period incurred as provision for loan losses on the Consolidated Statements of Income.
Other Real Estate Owned (OREO). OREO is measured at fair value using an income or market valuation approach based on an appraisal conducted by an independent, licensed appraiser outside of Bankshares using observable market data (Level 2). However, if an appraisal of the real estate property is over two years old, then the fair value is considered to be Level 3.

The following describes the valuation techniques used by Bankshares to measure certain financial assets and liabilities not previously described in this note that are not recorded at fair value on a recurring basis in the financial statements:
Cash, Due from Banks, and Federal Funds Sold
For these short-term instruments, the carrying amount is a reasonable estimate of fair value.
Loans Receivable
For variable-rate loans that reprice frequently and with no significant change in credit risk, fair values are based on carrying values. Fair values for certain mortgage loans (e.g., one-to-four family residential), credit card loans, and other consumer loans are based on quoted market prices of similar loans sold in conjunction with securitization transactions, adjusted for differences in loan characteristics. Fair values for other loans

11


Table of Contents

(e.g., commercial real estate and investment property mortgage loans, commercial and industrial loans) are estimated using discounted cash flow analyses, using interest rates currently being offered for loans with similar terms to borrowers of similar credit quality. Fair values for nonperforming loans are estimated using discounted cash flow analyses or underlying collateral values, where applicable.
Restricted Stock
Restricted investments in correspondent banks are carried at cost based on the underlying redemption provisions of the instruments and therefore are not included in the fair value disclosures.
Accrued Interest
The carrying amounts of accrued interest approximate fair value.
Deposit Liabilities
The fair values disclosed for demand deposits (e.g., interest and noninterest checking, statement savings, and certain types of money market accounts) are, by definition, equal to the amount payable on demand at the reporting date (i.e., their carrying amounts). The carrying amounts of variable-rate, fixed-term money market accounts and certificates of deposit approximate their fair values at the reporting date. Fair values for fixed-rate certificates of deposit are estimated using a discounted cash flow calculation that applies interest rates currently being offered on certificates to a schedule of aggregated expected monthly maturities on time deposits.
Short-Term Borrowings
The carrying amounts of federal funds purchased, borrowings under repurchase agreements, and other short-term borrowings maturing within ninety days approximate their fair values. Fair values of other short-term borrowings are estimated using discounted cash flow analyses based on Bankshares’ current incremental borrowing rates for similar types of borrowing arrangements.
Trust Preferred Capital Notes
The fair value of Bankshares’ Trust Preferred Capital Notes, which is discussed in Note 9, is estimated using discounted cash flow analyses based on Bankshares’ current incremental borrowing rates for similar types of borrowing arrangements.
Off-Balance-Sheet Financial Instruments
The fair value of commitments to extend credit is estimated using the fees currently charged to enter into similar agreements, taking into account the remaining terms of the agreements and the present creditworthiness of the counterparties. For fixed-rate loan commitments, fair value also considers the difference between current levels of interest rates and the committed rates. The fair value of standby letters of credit is based on fees

currently charged for similar agreements or on the estimated cost to terminate them or otherwise settle the obligations with the counterparties at the reporting date. Fair value of off- balance sheet financial Commitments are considered immaterial, and are therefore not included in the table below.

Bankshares’ investment security portfolio is primarily comprised of fixed rate bonds, whose prices move inversely with interest rates. At the end of any accounting period, the portfolio may have both unrealized gains and losses. Unrealized losses within Bankshares’ portfolio typically occur as market interest rates rise. Such unrealized losses are considered temporary in nature. Under ASC 320-10-35, Debt and Equity Securities Recognition and Presentation of Other-Than-Temporary Impairments, an impairment is considered “other than temporary” if any of the following conditions are met: Bankshares intends to sell the security, it is more likely than not that Bankshares will be required to sell the security before recovery of its amortized cost basis, or Bankshares does not expect to recover the security’s entire amortized cost basis (even if Bankshares does not intend to sell). In the event that a security would suffer impairment for a reason that was

15


Table of Contents

“other than temporary,” Bankshares would be expected to write down the security’s value to its new fair value, and the amount of the write-down would be included in earnings as a realized loss. As of March 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010, management does not consider any of the unrealized losses to be other-than-temporarily impaired and no impairment charges have been recorded.
There are a total of 56 investment securities totaling $64.5 million that have an unrealized loss and are considered temporarily impaired as of March 31, 2011. Management believes the unrealized losses noted in the table above are a result of current market conditions, interest rates, and do not reflect on the ability of the issuers to repay the obligations. Approximately $27.2 million or 42.2% of the investment securities with an unrealized loss are backed by U.S. Government Agencies or Corporations and other forms of underlying collateral. The PCMOs amounting to $2.6 million with an unrealized loss are all rated AAA by at least one national rating service. The municipalities have taxing authority and the ability to support their debt. Bankshares does not intend to sell the investments and it is not likely that Bankshares will be required to sell the investments before recovery of the unrealized losses.
Bankshares’ investment in Federal Home Loan Bank (FHLB) stock totaled $5.0 million at March 31, 2011. FHLB stock is generally viewed as a long term investment and as a restricted investment security which is carried at cost, because there is no market for the stock other than the FHLBs or member institutions. Therefore, when evaluating FHLB stock for impairment, its value is based on ultimate recoverability of the par value rather than by recognizing temporary declines in value. Despite the FHLB’s temporary suspension of repurchases of excess capital stock that started in 2009 and ended in 2010, and because the FHLB has shown consistent profitability during 2010 and the first quarter of 2011, Bankshares does not consider this investment to be other than temporarily impaired as of March 31, 2010 and no impairment has been recognized. FHLB stock is included in restricted stock on the Consolidated Balance Sheets.

8. Federal Home Loan Bank Advances
Bankshares has two advances from the FHLB: one fixed rate advance and one floating rate advance.
At March 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010, the FHLB advance accounted for on a fair value basis had a value of $26.1 and $26.2 million, respectively, and matures in 2021. The weighted average interest rate on the long-term FHLB advance accounted for on a fair value basis was 3.985% at March 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010. The par value of the FHLB advance accounted for on a fair value basis was $25.0 million at March 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010.
At March 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010, there was one FHLB advance accounted for on a cost basis. Bankshares entered into this floating rate advance in the first quarter of 2010 for $15.0 million. The advance matures in 2012 and the interest rate at March 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010 was 0.213% and 0.184%, respectively. The weighted average interest rate for both FHLB advances outstanding is 2.570%.
9. Trust Preferred Capital Notes of Subsidiary Trust
On June 30, 2003, Bankshares’ wholly-owned Delaware statutory business trust privately issued $10.0 million face amount of the Trust’s floating rate trust preferred capital securities (Trust Preferred Capital Notes) in a pooled trust preferred capital securities offering. The trust issued $310 thousand in common equity to Bankshares. Simultaneously, the trust used the proceeds of the sale to purchase $10.3 million principal amount of Bankshares’ floating rate junior subordinated debentures due 2033 (Subordinated Debentures). Both the Trust Preferred Capital Notes and the Subordinated Debentures are callable at any time. The Subordinated Debentures are an unsecured obligation of Bankshares and are junior in right of payment to all present and future senior indebtedness of Bankshares. The Trust Preferred Capital Notes are guaranteed by Bankshares on a subordinated basis. The Trust Preferred Capital Notes are presented in the Consolidated Balance Sheets of Bankshares under the caption “Trust Preferred Capital Notes.” Bankshares records distributions payable on the Trust Preferred Capital Notes as an interest expense in its Consolidated Statements of income. The interest rate associated with the Trust Preferred Capital Notes is three month LIBOR plus 3.15% subject to quarterly interest rate adjustments. Under the indenture governing the Trust Preferred Capital Notes, Bankshares has the right to defer payments of interest for up to twenty consecutive quarterly periods. Beginning with the quarter ended September 30, 2009 and through March 31, 2011, Bankshares elected to defer the interest payments as permitted under the indenture. The interest deferred under the indenture compounds quarterly at the interest rate then in effect. As of March 31, 2011 the total amount of deferred and compounded interest owed under the indenture is $666 thousand. The base interest rate as of March 31, 2011 was 3.46% and as of December 31, 2010 was 3.45%.
All or a portion of Trust Preferred Capital Notes may be included in the regulatory computation of capital adequacy as Tier 1 capital. Under the current guidelines, Tier 1 capital may include up to 25% of stockholders’ equity excluding accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) in the form of Trust Preferred Capital Notes. At March 31,

12. Subsequent Event
     Bankshares evaluated subsequent events that occurred after the balance sheet date, but before the financial statements are issued. There are two types of subsequent events (1) recognized, or those that provide additional evidence about conditions that existed at the date of the balance sheet, including estimates inherent in the process of preparing financial statements, and (2) nonrecognized, or those that provided evidence about conditions that did not exist at the date of the balance sheet but arose after that date. As of the report date there were no subsequent events.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
     The following discussion is intended to assist readers in understanding and evaluating the financial condition and results of operations of Bankshares and the Bank on a consolidated basis. This discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with Bankshares’ Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010, and the unaudited consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes included elsewhere in this report.
Internet Access to Corporate Documents
     Information about Bankshares can be found on the Bank’s website at www.alliancebankva.com. Under “Documents/SEC Filings” in the Investor Relations section of the website, Bankshares posts its annual reports, quarterly reports, current reports, definitive proxy materials and any amendments to those reports as soon as reasonably practicable after they are electronically filed with or furnished to the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). All such filings are available free of charge.
     The information available on the Bank’s website is not part of the Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q or any other report filed by Bankshares with the SEC.
Forward-Looking Statements
     Some of the matters discussed below and elsewhere in this report include forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements often use words such as “believe,” “expect,” “plan,” “may,” “will,” “should,” “project,” “contemplate,” “anticipate,” “forecast,” “intend” or other words of similar meaning. Forward-looking statements in this report may include, but are not limited to, statements regarding profitability, liquidity, the Bankshares’ loan portfolio, adequacy of the allowance for loan losses and provisions for loan losses, trends regarding net charge-offs, trends regarding levels of nonperforming assets, interest rates and yields, interest rate sensitivity, market risk, regulatory developments, capital requirements, business strategy and other goals or objectives.
     You can also identify forward-looking statements by the fact that they do not relate strictly to historical or current facts. The forward-looking statements we use in this report are subject to significant risks, assumptions and uncertainties, including among other things, the following important factors that could affect the actual outcome of future events:
    Changes in the strength of the national economy in general and the local economies in our market areas that adversely affect our customers and their ability to transact profitable business with us, including the ability of our borrowers to repay their loans according to their terms or a change in the value of the related collateral;
 
    Loss of key production or managerial personnel;
 
    Retention of existing employees;
 
    Maintaining and developing well established and valuable client relationships and referral source relationships;

     We caution you that the above list of important factors is not exclusive. These forward-looking statements are made as of the date of this report, and we may not undertake steps to update these forward-looking statements to reflect the impact of any circumstances or events that arise after the date the forward-looking statements are made.
Critical Accounting Policies
     Bankshares’ financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (GAAP). The financial information contained within our statements is, to a significant extent, based on measures of the financial effects of transactions and events that have already occurred. A variety of factors could affect the ultimate value that is obtained either when earning income, recognizing an expense, recovering an asset or relieving a liability. We use historical loss factors as one factor in determining the inherent loss that may be present in our loan portfolio. Actual losses could differ significantly from the historical factors that we use in estimating risk. In addition, GAAP itself may change from one previously acceptable method to another method. Although the economics of our transactions would be the same, the timing of events that would impact our financial statements could change.
     Allowance for Loan Losses. The allowance for loan losses is an estimate of the losses that may be sustained in our loan portfolio. The allowance is based on two basic principles of accounting: (1) ASC 450-10-05, Contingencies which requires that losses be accrued when they are probable of occurring and estimable, and (2) ASC 310-10-35, Receivables which requires that losses be accrued based on the differences between the value of collateral, present value of future cash flows or values that are observable in the secondary market and the loan balance. The allowance for loan losses has two basic components: the general allowance and the specific allowance.
     The general allowance is developed following the accounting principles contained in ASC 450-10-05 and represents the largest component of the total allowance. It is determined by aggregating un-criticized loans and unimpaired loans by loan type based on common purpose, collateral, repayment source or other credit characteristics and then applying factors which in the judgment of management represent the expected losses over the life of the loans. In determining those factors, we consider the following: (1) delinquencies and overall risk ratings, (2) loss history, (3) trends in volume and terms of loans, (4) effects of changes in lending policy, (5) the experience and depth of the borrowers’ management, (6) national and local economic trends, (7) concentrations of credit by individual credit size and by class of loans, (8) quality of loan review system and (9) the effect of external factors (e.g., competition and regulatory requirements).
     ASC 310-10-35, Receivables is the basis upon which we determine specific reserves on individual loans which comprise the specific allowance. Specific loans to be evaluated for impairment are identified based on the borrower’s loan size and the loan’s risk rating, collateral position and payment history. If it is determined that it is likely that the Bank will not receive full payment in a timely manner, the loan is determined to be impaired. Each such identified loan is then evaluated to determine the amount of reserve that is appropriate based on ASC 310-10-35. This standard also requires that losses be accrued based on the differences between the value

30

of collateral, present value of expected future cash flows or values that are observable in the secondary market and the loan balance.
     Share-Based Compensation. ASC 718-10, Stock Compensation, requires companies to recognize the cost of employee services received in exchange for awards of equity instruments, such as stock options and nonvested shares, based on the fair value of those awards at the date of grant. Compensation cost has been measured using the Black-Scholes model to estimate fair value of an award on the grant date and is recognized over the service period, which is usually the vesting period.
     Deferred Tax Asset. Bankshares routinely evaluates the likelihood of the recognition of deferred tax assets. The analysis is used to determine if a valuation allowance for deferred tax assets is necessary. Our analysis reviews various forms of positive and negative evidence in determining whether a valuation allowance is necessary and if so to what degree a valuation allowance is warranted.
     We considered positive evidence such as recent financial performance, previous earnings patterns, the recent history of loan charge-offs, nonperforming assets, OREO expenses, multiyear business projections and the potential realization of net operating loss (NOL) carry forwards within the prescribed time periods. We considered negative evidence such as operating losses in prior fiscal periods and trends in market values of our real estate collateral. We considered several different economic scenarios in evaluating whether the projected income in future periods was sufficient to recover the NOL over the prescribed period. In addition, we considered tax planning strategies that would impact the timing and extent of taxable income. The projected performance metrics over the period of NOL recognition indicates that, as of March 31, 2011, it is more likely than not that Bankshares will have sufficient taxable income in the future to recognize the deferred tax assets. Therefore, Bankshares has concluded that a valuation allowance for deferred tax assets is not necessary as of March 31, 2011.
Overview
     Bankshares’ primary long-term financial goals are to maximize earnings and deploy capital in profit driven initiatives that will enhance shareholder value in a sustainable fashion. Bankshares’ current emphasis is on optimizing profitability in the near term and strengthening the financial performance of the company, while also transitioning its operations to focus more closely on traditional banking activities and to reposition Bankshares for the future. Bankshares’ transitional strategies to achieve these goals include, among others, the following initiatives:
    Diversifying the loan portfolio by increasing our focus on commercial loans and loans secured by owner occupied commercial real estate, while continuing to be an active lender in attractive aspects of the residential and commercial real estate markets;
 
    Reducing the investment securities portfolio and eliminating the trading assets portfolio.
 
    Continuing to attentively manage the level of nonperforming assets by addressing problem loans on a timely basis.
 
    Increasing low cost deposits by local commercial and retail customers and reducing our brokered deposit portfolio; and
 
    Reducing our operating and funding costs.

     Performance Highlights
    Net income for the quarter ended March 31, 2011 was $365 thousand compared to net income of $114 thousand for the same period in 2010, an improvement of $251 thousand. Earnings per common share, basic and diluted, amounted to $0.07 at March 31, 2011, compared to $0.02 at March 31, 2010.
 
    Total assets were $528.3 million at March 31, 2011, a decrease of $10.2 million from December 31, 2010 total assets of $538.5 million. The decrease in total assets is directly related to the payoff of a number of loan relationships in the quarter, a reduction in federal funds sold and reductions in our investment securities portfolio.
 
    Total loans were $319.6 million at March 31, 2011, a decrease of $12.7 million, or 3.82% from the December 31, 2010 balance of $332.3 million. The continued reductions in construction/land loan exposure, seasonal reductions in credit line usage from the Commercial and Industrial (C&I) segment, and full repayment on several commercial real estate loans contributed to the lower March 31, 2011 balance.
 
    Our ratio of nonperforming assets to total assets was 3.21% as of March 31, 2011 compared to 1.75% as of December 31, 2010, or an increase of 146 basis points. This increase is due to management electing to include as nonaccrual loans two substandard relationships that displayed signs of additional weaknesses totaling $6.5 million.
 
    As of March 31, 2011, the composition of nonperforming assets was $11.6 million of nonaccrual loans, $4.5 million of OREO, and $843 thousand of troubled debt restructured loans for a total of $16.9 million, compared to total nonperforming assets as of December 31, 2010, of $9.4 million. The nonaccrual balance increased by $7.5 million at March 31, 2011. This increase is attributable to including in nonaccrual loans two relationships which are rated substandard. These loans are secured by various real estate holdings and we believe we are applying appropriate strategies to the circumstances reflected in each relationship.
 
    The investment securities portfolio totaled $125.5 million at March 31, 2011. This compares to $135.9 million of investments as of December 31, 2010, a decrease of $10.4 million. Targeted efforts by management to strategically restructure the balance sheet led to the reduction in the investment securities portfolio.
 
    The net interest margin for the quarter ended March 31, 2011 was 3.78% compared to 3.66% for the same 2010 period, an increase of 12 basis points.
 
    Deposits were $406.1 million at March 31, 2011, a minimal decrease from the December 31, 2010 balance of $406.9 million.
 
    Demand deposits were $120.1 million at March 31, 2011, or 29.6% of total deposits. This compares to the December 31, 2010 level of $124.6 million or 30.6% of total deposits.
     Financial Performance Measures. Bankshares’ net income for the three month period ended March 31, 2011 was $365 thousand, an improvement of $251 thousand over the first quarter of 2010 net income of $114 thousand. The net income of $365 thousand includes net interest income of $4.4 million compared to $4.7 million for the same period last year, a decrease of $283 thousand. That decrease is due primarily to a decrease in interest income in the amount of $1.1 million, which was partially offset by a decrease of $789 thousand in the cost of funds.

Table of Contents

For the three months ended March 31, 2011, total interest expense was $1.5 million compared to $2.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2010. These results led to $0.07 basic and diluted earnings per share for the quarter ended March 31, 2011, compared to $0.02 basic and diluted earnings per share for the quarter ended March 31, 2010. Weighted average basic shares outstanding were 5,108,048 for the three months ended March 31, 2011 and 5,106,819 for the three months ended March 31, 2010. Weighted average diluted shares outstanding were 5,123,029 for the three months ended March 31, 2011 and 5,108,085 for the three months ended March 31, 2010.
     Net interest margin increased to 3.78% for the three months ended March 31, 2011 compared to 3.66% for the three months ended March 31, 2010, an increase of 12 basis points. A key contributing factor to the improved net interest margin was the lower cost of funds during 2011. Net interest margin for the quarter was negatively affected by the increase in non-accrual loans and by a decrease in the yield on interest earning assets. Total interest income reversed for the first quarter ended March 31, 2011 was $193 thousand compared to $62 thousand for the first quarter ended March 31, 2010.
Results of Operations
     Net Interest Income. Net interest income (on a fully tax equivalent basis) for the three months ended March 31, 2011 was $4.4 million compared to $4.8 million for the same period in 2010. Interest income on earning assets was $1.2 million lower for the three months ended March 31, 2011, compared to the first quarter of 2010. Of the $1.2 million decrease in interest income, $457 thousand is attributable to the $32.4 million lower average balance in loans. The reduction in the average balance in the investment securities portfolio was $19.4 million and contributed $208 thousand to the reduction in interest income. The decrease in yield from 4.69% to 3.89% in the investment securities portfolio also contributed to $292 thousand to the decrease in interest income. This was offset by the decrease in interest expense of $789 thousand. The average balance of interest bearing deposits decreased by $60.3 million and contributed $343 thousand to the reduction in interest expense. The average rate paid on deposits improved to 1.62% from 2.24%, which reduced interest expense by $396 thousand.
     The following table illustrates average balances of total interest-earning assets and total interest-bearing liabilities for the three month periods indicated, showing the average distribution of assets, liabilities, stockholders’ equity and related income, expense and corresponding weighted average yields and rates. The average balances used in these tables and other statistical data were calculated using daily average balances.

     Average loan balances were $325.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2011 compared to $357.6 million for the same period in 2010. The decrease in average loans is a result of management’s short-term strategy to reduce certain types of real estate lending, such as land acquisition and development financing. The longer-term strategy is to grow small business commercial loans and owner occupied commercial real estate. The related interest income from loans was $4.5 million in the three months ended March 31, 2011compared to $5.1 million in the same period in 2010. The average yield on loans of 5.67% during the three months ended March 31, 2011 was 16 basis points lower than the yield of 5.83% in the first quarter of 2010. Interest rates are established for classes of loans that include variable rates based on Wall Street Journal Prime or other identifiable bases while others carry fixed rates with terms out to 15 years. Most new variable rate originations include minimum start rates and/or floors.
     Trading securities averaged $1.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2011, compared to $5.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2010. Trading securities interest income for the three months ended March 31, 2011was $33 thousand compared to $88 thousand for the three months ended March 31, 2010. The reduction in average trading securities reflects management’s business strategy to reduce the trading securities portfolio as we reposition the balance sheet and led to the reduction in associated interest income. At March 31, 2011, there was a single instrument in the trading securities portfolio with a carrying value of $605 thousand.
     The average balance of investment securities was $140.7 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2011 compared to $160.1 million for the same quarter in 2010. Investment securities income (on a fully tax equivalent basis) was $1.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2011 compared to $1.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2010. The tax equivalent average yield on investment securities for the three months ended March 31, 2011 was 3.89% compared to 4.69% for the three months ended March 31, 2010. The reduction in average investment securities from the sale of securities reflects management’s business strategy to reduce the investment securities portfolio.
     Short-term investments in federal funds sold contributed $10 thousand to interest income in the three month period ended March 31, 2011, compared to $11 thousand for the same period in 2010. The average balance for the three months ended March 31, 2011was $6.6 million, a $200 thousand decrease from the prior year average balance of $6.8 million.
     The average balance of cash and due from banks was $19.3 million and $19.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2011and 2010, respectively. The deposit flows from the title and escrow clients can have significant volatility especially at month end or quarter end and explains some of the variance between the average cash and due from banks balances and the period-end balances.
     Total average interest earning assets yielded 5.08% for the three months ended March 31, 2011 compared to the yield of 5.42% for the same period in 2010. Total interest income (on a fully tax equivalent basis) was $5.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2011 compared to $7.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2010. As discussed above, interest income decreased from the first quarter of 2010 to the first quarter of 2011 due to smaller average loans and securities balances, which are a product of our strategy to reposition our

balance sheet, and lower yields generated by our interest-earning assets in the low interest rate environment.
     Total average interest-bearing liabilities were $388.9 million in the first quarter of 2011, or $65.2 million lower than the first quarter of 2010 level of $454.1 million. A key driver of the decrease is the decrease in average time deposits. The average balance for time deposits for the first quarter of 2011 was $198.0 million compared to the first quarter of 2010 average balance of $260.4 million, a decrease of $62.4 million. Interest expense for all interest-bearing liabilities amounted to $1.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2011 compared to $2.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2010, or a savings of $789 thousand. The average cost of interest-bearing liabilities for the first quarter of 2011 was 1.58% or 48 basis points lower than the first quarter of 2010 level of 2.06%. The lower interest rate environment allowed for competitive repricing of interest bearing demand accounts, money market accounts, savings accounts and client based time deposits. The Bank prices these deposit accounts on a competitive basis with local market financial institutions, general economic conditions and market interest rates. In addition, the Bank benefited from significant downward repricing of the brokered certificate of deposit portfolio. Many of the larger wholesale deposits with higher rates have matured or repriced downward. The benefits of the repricing are seen in the lower time deposit cost of 2.04% during the first quarter of 2011 compared to 2.60% during the same period of 2010.
     As of March 31, 2011, the brokered certificate of deposit portfolio carried an average coupon rate of 1.72% compared to an average coupon rate of 2.09% at March 31, 2010.
     Non-interest bearing demand deposits averaged $88.0 million for the first three months of 2011, or $2.7 million more than the first quarter of 2010 level of $85.3 million.
     The following table describes the impact on our tax equivalent interest income and expense resulting from changes in average balances and average rates for the periods indicated. The change in interest income due to both volume and rate has been allocated to volume and rate changes in proportion to the relationship of the absolute dollar amounts of the change in each.

     Bankshares recorded a net gain of $79 thousand on the sale of investment securities in the three months ended March 31, 2011, compared to a net gain of $256 thousand in the three months ended March 31, 2010. Bankshares views the available for sale investment portfolio as a tool in managing the overall balance sheet and liquidity positions of the organization. From time to time, Bankshares will sell investment securities to achieve certain business objectives. These sales may result in gains or losses depending on the timing and book value of instruments sold.
     Trading activity and fair value adjustments recorded for the three months ended March 31, 2011 resulted in a net gain of $24 thousand, compared to a net loss of $190 thousand for the same period in 2010, an increase of $214 thousand. The net gain of $24 thousand is primarily driven by a positive fair value adjustment of $151 thousand on the FHLB advance. At contractual maturity, the FHLB advance will become due at par and any unrealized loss will be recognized as trading income as maturity approaches. For the three months ended March 31, 2011, trading activity and fair value adjustments in the associated with the trading investment assets generated a net loss of $127 thousand.
     Non-interest Expense (Other Expenses). During the three months ended March 31, 2011, we made important progress toward our strategic goal of optimizing profitability by decreasing our non-interest expenses.
     Non-interest expense for the three months ended March 31, 2011, amounted to $3.7 million compared to $4.5 million for the same period in 2010, a decrease of $800 thousand. A

key component of non-interest expense is salary and benefits expense. This expense for the quarter ended March 31, 2011 was $1.4 million, compared to the first quarter of 2010 level of $2.0 million, a substantial decrease of $600 thousand. Occupancy and furniture and equipment costs were $729 thousand compared to the 2010 level of $822, a decrease of $93 thousand.
     OREO expense was $35 thousand for the first quarter ended March 31, 2011 compared to $43 thousand for the same period in 2010. This decrease is a result of the continued effort by management to manage problem assets in a timely manner.
     Income Taxes. We recorded income tax expense of $182 thousand in the first quarter of 2011.
     Bankshares periodically evaluates the likelihood of the recognition of deferred tax assets. The analysis is used to determine if a valuation allowance for deferred tax assets is necessary. Our analysis reviews various forms of positive and negative evidence in determining whether a valuation allowance is necessary and if so, to what degree a valuation allowance is warranted. As of March 31, 2011 and 2010, Bankshares has concluded that a valuation allowance for deferred tax assets is not necessary. For more information on the deferred tax asset valuation allowance analysis, please see “Critical Accounting Policies — Deferred Tax Asset” in Part 1, Item 2 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
Analysis of Financial Condition
     Trading Securities. At March 31, 2011, the trading portfolio consisted of one PCMO security with a fair value of $605 thousand compared to four PCMO securities with a fair value of $3.4 million for the same period in 2010. The current effective portfolio yield is 5.43%.

     Trading Securities Classified as Level 3. Beginning in the third quarter of 2008, and continuing through to the present time, portions of the investment and debt markets have experienced a period of significant distress and dysfunction, and market values for certain financial instruments may not be readily available. Bankshares believes that some of the investment and debt markets remain depressed. Although certain portions of the investment and debt markets have improved, the fair value of an investment security may not be the same as a liquidation value. As such, Level 3 evaluations of the fair value are used. The fair value methods used to evaluate trading assets include typical market spreads for the instruments, option adjusted spreads, swap curves, discounted cashflow models, default levels, prepayment spreads, tranche classification, previously observable non-distressed valuations and bond issuance rates and spreads for investment and non-investment grade instruments. We believe this approach more accurately reflects the fair value of the PCMO security in the portfolio.
     Investment Securities — Available for Sale. On March 31, 2011, our investment portfolio contained callable and non-callable U.S. government agency securities, U.S. government agency collateralized mortgage obligations (CMOs), U.S. government agency mortgage backed securities (MBS), PCMOs, and municipal securities. U.S. government agency securities were $43.0 million or 34.3% of the March 31, 2011 investment portfolio. As of March 31, 2011, PCMOs, CMOs and MBS made up 42.5% of the portfolio or $53.4 million. Municipal securities were 23.2% of the portfolio or $29.1 million as of March 31, 2011.
     We actively manage our portfolio duration and composition with changing market conditions and changes in balance sheet risk management needs. Additionally, the securities are pledged as collateral for certain borrowing transactions and repurchase agreements. The total amount of the investment securities accounted for under available-for-sale accounting was $125.5 million on March 31, 2011 compared to $135.9 million at December 31, 2010. Targeted efforts to strategically restructure our balance sheet led to shifts in our investment portfolio mix and reduced the investment securities portfolio’s balance at March 31, 2011.
     The yield on the investment securities portfolio as of March 31, 2011 was 4.27%. During the first quarter of 2011, the bank earned $1.350 million on the investment securities portfolio or an effective tax equivalent yield of 3.89%. The investment securities portfolio contains mortgage oriented products (CMO, PCMO, and MBS) and SBA securities. When prepayments on these instruments occur at a faster rate than anticipated premium amortization increases which adversely impacts the portfolio yield. During the quarter the Bank experienced greater than expected prepayments on a variety of investment securities.

Commercial real estate is secured by income producing properties of all types. Real estate construction loans are supported by projects which generally require an appropriate level of pre-sales or pre-leasing. Generally, all commercial and real estate loans have full recourse to the owners and/or sponsors. Residential real estate is secured by first or second trusts on both owner-occupied and investor-owned residential properties.
     As noted in the table above, loans secured by various types of real estate constitute a significant portion of total loans. Commercial real estate loans represent the largest dollar exposure. Substantially all of these loans are secured by properties in the Metropolitan Washington, D.C. area with the heaviest concentration in Northern Virginia and Fairfax County in particular. Risk is managed through diversification by sub-market, property type, and loan size. Risk is further managed by seeking investment property loans with multiple tenants and by emphasizing owner-occupied loans. The average loan size in this portfolio is $658 thousand as of March 31, 2011.
     The table also shows a continuing reduction in the real estate construction portion of the portfolio, which represented 13% of the portfolio at March 31, 2010 compared to 20% at December 31, 2008. The current levels of real estate construction loans are a product of management’s efforts to de-emphasize this type of lending in recent years. New originations in this segment are being underwritten in the context of current market conditions and are particularly focused in sub-markets which appear to be the strongest in the region. Legacy loans, particularly in the land portion of this portfolio, have been largely converted to amortizing loans with regular principal and interest payments. We expect to see further reductions in our land exposure offset by potential increases in certain residential construction activities as market conditions improve.
     Loans secured by residential real estate have remained relatively constant since March 31, 2010, with growth in our 1-4 family first trust loans partially offset by the reductions in our 1-4 family subordinate trust loans (HELOCs and closed-end 2nd mortgages). All loans in both categories represent loans underwritten by us (we do not purchase loans in this portfolio) to customers with whom we have direct contact in the local communities we serve. We believe that our underwriting criteria reflect current market conditions. The portfolio of first mortgage loans had an average size per housing unit of $321 thousand as of March 31, 2011. Our subordinate trust loans averaged $99 thousand per property as of March 31, 2011. While we recognize that the Metropolitan Washington, D.C. residential real estate market is in a nascent recovery, we believe our current underwriting standards, our emphasis on serving the sub-markets we know, the granularity of our portfolio, and our continued reduction of our subordinate trust portfolio represent appropriate risk management for this portfolio.

Asset Quality
     We segregate loans meeting the criteria for special mention, substandard, doubtful and loss from non-classified, or pass rated, loans. We review the characteristics of each rating at least annually, generally during the first quarter of each year. The characteristics of these ratings are as follows:
     Pass and watch rated loans (risk ratings 1 to 6) are to persons or business entities with an acceptable financial condition, appropriate collateral margins, appropriate cash flow to service the existing loans, and an appropriate leverage ratio. The borrower has paid all obligations as agreed and it is expected that the borrower will maintain this type of payment history. When necessary, acceptable personal guarantors support the loan.
     Special mention loans (risk rating 7) have a specific defined weakness in the borrower’s operations and/or the borrower’s ability to generate positive cash flow on a sustained basis. The borrower’s recent payment history is characterized by late payments. Bankshares’ risk exposure to special mention loans is mitigated by collateral supporting the loan. The collateral is considered to be well-managed, well maintained, accessible and readily marketable.
     Substandard loans (risk rating 8) are considered to have specific and well-defined weaknesses that jeopardize the viability of Bankshares’ credit extension. The payment history for the loan has been inconsistent and the expected or projected primary repayment source may be inadequate to service the loan. The estimated net liquidation value of the collateral pledged and/or ability of the personal guarantors to pay the loan may not adequately protect Bankshares. There is a distinct possibility that Bankshares will sustain some loss if the deficiencies associated with the loan are not corrected in the near term. A substandard loan would not automatically meet our definition of an impaired loan unless the loan is significantly past due and the borrower’s performance and financial condition provide evidence that it is probable Bankshares will be unable to collect all amounts due.

Table of Contents

     Substandard non-accrual loans have the same characteristics as substandard loans. However these loans have a non-accrual classification generally because the borrower’s principal or interest payments are 90 days or more past due.
     Doubtful rated loans (risk rating 9) have all the weakness inherent in a loan that is classified as substandard but with the added characteristic that the weaknesses make collection or liquidation in full, on the basis of currently existing facts, conditions, and values, highly questionable and improbable. The possibility of loss related to doubtful rated loans is extremely high.
     Loss (risk rating 10) rated loans are not considered collectible under normal circumstances and there is no realistic expectation for any future payment on the loan. Loss rated loans are fully charged off.

1    Internal risk ratings of pass (rating numbers 1 to 5) and watch (rating number 6) are deemed to be unclassified assets.

     As part of our normal credit risk management practices, we regularly monitor the payment performance of our borrowers. Substantially all loans require some form of payment on a monthly basis, with a high percentage requiring regular amortization of principal. However, certain HELOCs, commercial and industrial lines of credit, and construction loans generally require only monthly interest payments.

     When payments are 90 days or more in arrears or when we determine that it is no longer prudent to recognize current interest income on a loan, we classify the loan as non-accrual. As of March 31, 2011, we had one relationship with an aggregate exposure of $4.8 million which was 30 days in arrears but we determined that current events could impact the capacity of the borrower in future periods. Another relationship totaling $1.7 million, consisting of 14 mortgage loans secured by small income properties, filed for bankruptcy during the first quarter of 2011 due to financial circumstances unrelated to the Bank’s exposure. We have applied to the court for the release of post-petition rent payments, or in the alternative, relief from the bankruptcy stay to pursue our collateral. The third relationship, a $2.4 million real estate secured loan, was classified as impaired at December 31, 2010. Until there is greater clarity about the borrowers’ financial condition in future periods, we determined that non-accrual status was appropriate for these loans
     From time to time, a loan may be past due for 90 days or more but it is in the process of collection and thus warrants remaining on accrual status. We had no such loans at March 31, 2011.

Allowance for Loan Losses
     The allowance for loan losses is an estimate of losses that may be sustained in our loan portfolio. The allowance is based on two basic principles of accounting: (1) ASC 450-10-05, Contingencies which requires that losses be accrued when they are probable of occurring and estimable, and (2) ASC 310-10-35, Receivables which requires that losses be accrued based on the differences between the value of collateral, present value of future cash flows, or values that are observable in the secondary market and the loan balance.
     The allowance for loan losses was $5.6 million at March 31, 2011, or 1.76% of loans outstanding, compared to $5.3 million or 1.59% of loans outstanding, at December 31, 2010. We have allocated $1.8 million at March 31, 2011 compared to $873 thousand at December 31, 2010 for specific non-performing loans. For the first quarter of 2011, we had net recoveries of $24 thousand compared to net charge-offs $157 thousand in the same period of 2010.
     As part of our routine credit administration process, we engage an outside consulting firm to review our loan portfolio periodically. The information from these reviews is used to monitor individual loans as well as to evaluate the overall adequacy of the allowance for loan losses.
     In reviewing the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses at each period, management takes into consideration the historical loan losses experienced by Bankshares, current economic conditions affecting the borrowers’ ability to repay, the volume of loans, trends in delinquent, nonaccruing, and potential problem loans, and the quality of collateral securing loans. Loan losses are charged against the allowance when we believe that the collection of the principal is unlikely. Subsequent recoveries of losses previously charged against the allowance are credited to the allowance. After charging off all known losses incurred in the loan portfolio, management considers on a quarterly basis whether the allowance for loan losses remains adequate to cover its estimate of probable future losses, and establishes a provision for loan losses as appropriate. Because the allowance for credit losses is an estimate, as the loan portfolio and allowance for credit losses review process continues to evolve, there may be changes to this estimate and elements used in the methodology used that may have an effect on the overall level of allowance maintained.

     The following table provides a breakdown of the allocation of the allowance for loan losses by loan type. However, management does not believe that the allowance for loan losses can be fragmented by category with any precision that would be useful to investors. As such, the entire allowance is available for losses in any particular category, not withstanding this allocation. The breakdown of the allowance for loan losses is based primarily upon those factors discussed above in computing the allowance for loan losses as a whole. Because all of these factors are subject to change, the allocation and actual results are not necessarily indicative of the exact category of potential loan losses.

Nonperforming Assets
     Impaired Loans (Loans with a Specific Allowance Allocation). As of March 31, 2011, there were no loans with impairment allocations that were not also in non-accrual status. At December 31, 2010, a $2.4 million loan was carried as impaired which has subsequently been placed on non-accrual status as of March 31, 2011.
     Non-accrual Loans. A loan may be placed on non-accrual status when the loan is specifically determined to be impaired or when principal or interest is delinquent 90 days or more. We closely monitor individual loans, and relationship officers are charged with working with customers to resolve potential credit issues in a timely manner with minimum exposure to Bankshares. We maintain a policy of adding an appropriate amount to the allowance for loan losses to ensure an adequate reserve based on the portfolio composition, specific credit extended

by the Bank, general economic conditions and other factors and external circumstances identified during the process of estimating probable losses in the Company’s loan portfolio.
     On March 31, 2011, there was $11.6 million in loans on non-accrual status compared to $1.9 at December 31, 2010 and $4.3 million at March 31, 2010. The $11.6 million non-accrual loan balance consists mostly of loans secured by residential and commercial real estate in the Northern Virginia area. The specific allowance for impaired loans as of March 31, 2011 is $1.8 million.
     The increase in non-accruals during the first quarter of 2011 is attributable to three relationships. The largest is $4.8 million, which includes a Commercial and Industrial relationship with two related real estate loans. This substandard credit displayed signs of additional weakness during the quarter, although scheduled payments continue to be made. The second relationship placed on non-accrual status totals $1.7 million which consists of 14 mortgage loans secured by small income properties. The third relationship that was classified as impaired at December 31, 2010 was added to the non-accrual at March 31, 2011, in the amount of $2.4 million. In each of these cases, Bankshares believes that the appropriate strategy was applied to move these loans to non-accrual given the circumstances reflected in the individual relationships. These relationships originated in 2006 or earlier.
     Total Non-Performing Assets. As of March 31, 2011, we had $17.0 million of non-performing assets on the balance sheet compared to $9.4 million as of December 31, 2010, an increase of $7.6 million. This increase is due to the addition of several non-accrual lending relationships and troubled debt restructurings during the quarter. The ratio of non-performing assets to total assets increased to 3.21% as of March 31, 2011 from 1.75% as of December 31, 2010, a 146 basis point increase.

     Other Real Estate Owned (OREO). As of March 31, 2011, we had $4.5 million classified as OREO on the balance sheet, compared to $4.6 million as of December 31, 2010 and $8.4 million at March 31, 2010. The OREO balance consists of $1.6 million which relates to residential acreage in the Winchester, Virginia area, $879 thousand which relates to residential building lots in Woodstock, Virginia, and $837 thousand which relates to residential building lots in Charles Town, West Virginia. The remainder is made up of five additional properties totaling $1.2 million at March 31, 2011.

     Deposits. We seek deposits within our market area by offering high-quality customer service, using technology to deliver deposit services effectively and paying competitive interest rates. A significant portion of our client base and deposits are directly related to home sales and refinancing activity, including from title and escrow agency customers.
        At March 31, 2011, the deposit portfolio was $406.1 million, a minimal decrease compared to the December 31, 2010 level of $406.9 million. The interest-bearing deposits cost the Bank 1.62% for the quarter ended March 31, 2011 or 62 basis points less than the quarter ended March 31, 2010 average cost of 2.24%. As key interest rates declined over the past year, we repriced deposits at lower levels
     At March 31, 2011, our non-interest bearing demand deposits were $120.7 million compared to $124.6 million at December 31, 2010, a $3.9 million decrease. Average non-interest bearing demand deposits were $88.0 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2011 compared to average demand deposits of $85.3 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2010, an increase of $2.7 million. The disparity between the March 31, 2011 balance of non-interest bearing deposits of $120.7 million and the first quarter of 2011 average balance of non-interest bearing deposits of $88.0 million is directly related to seasonal and cyclical changes in business of our title and escrow deposit client base. Frequently, our title and escrow deposit clients experience strong deposit growth around the end of a month or quarter.

     We currently use wholesale brokered deposits. We believe these types of funds offer a reliable stable source of funds for the Bank. Frequently the interest rates associated with wholesale brokered deposits are significantly lower than general customer rates in our markets. As market conditions warrant and balance sheet needs dictate, we may continue to participate in the wholesale brokered certificate of deposit market. As with any deposit product, we have potential risk for non-renewal by the customer and/or broker. Over the long term, management’s strategic goal is to lower our wholesale brokered deposits and replace them with attractively priced local commercial and retail deposits.
     As of March 31, 2011, we had $125.0 million of wholesale brokered certificates of deposit which is $25.0 million higher than the December 31, 2010 level of $100.0 million. This increase is due to management utilizing these instruments to lengthen the duration of the liabilities on the balance sheet in advance of some expected maturities in 2011
     The following table shows the maturity distribution and coupon rate of wholesale brokered certificate of deposits at March 31, 2011:

     Purchased Funds and Other Borrowings. Purchased funds and other borrowings include repurchase agreements (repos), which we offer to commercial customers and affluent individuals, federal funds purchased and treasury, tax and loan balances. The bulk of purchased funds are made up of the following four categories: customer repos, outstanding federal funds purchased, the Trust Preferred Capital Notes and FHLB advances. Customer repos amounted to $34.0 million at March 31, 2011, compared to $43.1 million at December 31, 2010 and $26.7 million at March 31, 2010. FHLB advances amounted to $41.1 million at March 31, 2011, compared to $41.2 million at December 31, 2010 and $65.9 million at March 31, 2010. Other borrowings were $0, $549 thousand and $5 thousand at March 31, 2011, December 31, 2010 and March 31, 2010, respectively. The Trust Preferred Capital Notes were $10.3 million for all periods presented.

     Customer repurchase agreements are standard commercial banking transactions that involve a Bank customer instead of a wholesale bank or broker. We offer this product as an accommodation to larger retail and commercial customers and affluent individuals that request safety for their funds beyond the FDIC deposit insurance limits. We believe this product offers us a stable source of financing at a reasonable market rate of interest. We do not use or have any open repurchase agreements with any broker-dealers.
     The FHLB is a key source of funding for the Bank. During the periods presented, we have used overnight advances (daily rate credit) to support our short-term liquidity needs. On a longer term basis, we augment our funding portfolio with our two FHLB advances, one of which is accounted for on a fair value basis, and one of which is accounted for on a cost basis.
     At March 31, 2011, December 31, 2010 and March 31, 2010, the FHLB long-term advance accounted for on a fair value basis had a value of $26.1 million, $26.2 million and $25.9 million respectively, and matures in 2021. The weighted average interest rate on the long-term FHLB advance accounted for on a fair value basis was 3.985% for all periods presented. The par value of the FHLB advance accounted for on a fair value basis was $25.0 million at March 31, 2011, December 31 2010, and March 31, 2010.
     At March 31, 2011, there was one FHLB advance accounted for on a cost basis. Bankshares entered into this floating rate advance in the first quarter of 2010 for $15.0 million.

Table of Contents

The advance matures in 2012 and the interest rate at March 31, 2011 was 0.213%. The weighted average interest rate for both FHLB advances at March 31, 2011 is 2.570%.
     Trading Liabilities Classified as Level 3. Beginning in the third quarter of 2008 and continuing through the present time, portions of the investment and debt markets have experienced a period of significant distress and dysfunction, and market values for certain financial instruments may not be readily available. Although certain portions of the investment and debt markets have improved, the fair value of an instrument may not be the same as a liquidation value. In evaluating the fair value of funding instruments, we determined that the typical valuation techniques did not take into account the distressed investment and debt markets. As such, we considered other factors such as typical spreads for the instruments, option adjusted spreads, swap curves, discounted cashflow models, previously observable non-distressed valuations and bond issuance rates and spreads for investment and non-investment grade instruments. As of March 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010, the fair value of the long-term FHLB advance accounted for on a fair value basis was $26.1 million and $26.2 million respectively.
     The following table reflects the fair value of liabilities accounted for under ASC 820-10 as of the dates indicated:

     Liquidity. Bankshares specifically focuses on liquidity management to meet the demand for funds from our depositors and lending clients as well as expenses that we incur in the operation of our business. We have a formal liquidity management policy and a contingency funding policy used to assist management in executing the liquidity strategies necessary for the Bank. Similar to other banking organizations, the Bank monitors the need for funds to support depositor activities and funding of loans. Our client base includes a significant number of title and escrow businesses which have more deposit inflows and outflows than a traditional commercial business relationship. The Bank maintains additional liquidity sources to support the needs of this client base. As noted in the risk factors section of Bankshares’ Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010 and the forward- looking statement section of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, loss of relationship officers or clients could have a material impact our liquidity position through a reduction in average deposits.
     Our funding department and Chief Financial Officer monitor our overall liquidity position daily. We can and will draw upon federal funds lines with correspondent banks, draw upon reverse repurchase agreement lines with correspondent banks and use FHLB advances as needed. Our deposit customers frequently have lower deposit balances in the middle of the month, and balances generally rise toward the end of each month. As such, we use wholesale funding techniques to support our balance sheet and asset portfolios, although our longer term

plan is to increase deposits from our local retail and commercial deposits and maintain available wholesale funding sources as additional liquidity.
     As of March 31, 2011, Bankshares had $49.6 million in cash to support the business activities and deposit flows of our clients. The Bank maintains credit lines at the FHLB and other correspondent banks. At March 31, 2011, the Bank had a total credit line of $107.5 million with the FHLB with an unused portion of $67.5 million. Borrowings with the FHLB have certain collateral requirements and are subject to disbursement approval by the FHLB. At March 31, 2011, the Bank had $30.0 million in secured borrowing capacity and $4.5 million in unsecured borrowing capacity (both reverse repurchase agreements and federal funds purchased) from correspondent banks. As of March 31, 2011, the Bank did not have any outstanding borrowings from its correspondent banks. All borrowings from correspondent banks are subject to disbursement approval. The Bank is also eligible to borrow from the Federal Reserve Discount Window subject to the collateral requirements and other terms and conditions that may exist. In addition to the borrowing capacity described above, Bankshares and the Bank may sell investment securities, loans and other assets to generate additional liquidity. We anticipate maintaining sufficient liquidity to protect depositors, provide for business growth and comply with regulatory requirements.
Capital
     Both Bankshares and the Bank are considered “well capitalized” under the risk-based capital guidelines adopted by the federal banking regulatory agencies. Capital adequacy is an important measure of financial stability. Maintaining a “well capitalized” regulatory position is paramount for each organization. Both Bankshares and the Bank monitor the capital positions to ensure appropriate capital for the respective risk profile of each organization, as well as sufficient levels to promote depositor and investor confidence in the respective organizations.
     Total stockholders’ equity was $33.8 million as of March 31, 2011 compared to the December 31, 2010 level of $33.7 million. The change in equity is primarily attributable to our net income for 2011 of $365 thousand. Book value per common share was $6.61 as of March 31, 2011, compared to $6.60 as of December 31, 2010. The net unrealized loss on available-for-sale securities amounted to $584 thousand, net of tax as of March 31, 2011, compared to a net unrealized loss on available-for-sale securities of $288 thousand, net of tax as of December 31, 2010. Recent fluctuations in interest rates and spreads have had an adverse effect on the net unrealized loss on available-for-sale securities.

     On June 30, 2003, Bankshares’ wholly-owned Delaware statutory business trust privately issued $10.0 million face amount of the trust’s floating rate trust preferred capital securities (Trust Preferred Capital Notes) in a pooled trust preferred capital securities offering. The trust issued $310 thousand in common equity to Bankshares. Simultaneously, the trust used the proceeds of the sale to purchase $10.3 million principal amount of Bankshares’ floating rate junior subordinated debentures due 2033 (Subordinated Debentures). Both the Trust Preferred Capital Notes and the Subordinated Debentures are callable at any time. The Subordinated Debentures are an unsecured obligation of Bankshares and are junior in right of payment to all present and future senior indebtedness of Bankshares. The Trust Preferred Capital Notes are guaranteed by Bankshares on a subordinated basis. The Trust Preferred Capital Notes are presented in the Consolidated Balance Sheets of Bankshares under the caption “Trust Preferred Capital Notes.” Bankshares records distributions payable on the Trust Preferred Capital Notes as an interest expense in its Consolidated Statements of Operations. The interest rate associated with the Trust Preferred Capital Notes is three month LIBOR plus 3.15% subject to quarterly interest rate adjustments. Under the indenture governing the Trust Preferred Capital Notes, Bankshares has the right to defer payments of interest for up to twenty consecutive quarterly periods. Beginning with the quarter ended September 30, 2009 and through March 31, 2011, Bankshares elected to defer the interest payments as permitted under the indenture. The interest deferred under the indenture compounds quarterly at the interest rate then in effect. As of March 31, 2011 the total amount of deferred and compounded interest owed under the indenture is $666 thousand. The base interest rate as of March 31, 2011 was 3.46% and as of December 31, 2010 was 3.45%.
     All or a portion of Trust Preferred Capital Notes may be included in the regulatory

computation of capital adequacy as Tier 1 capital. Under the current guidelines, Tier 1 capital may include up to 25% of stockholders’ equity excluding accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) in the form of Trust Preferred Capital Notes. At March 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010, the entire amount was considered Tier 1 capital. Management does not expect the restrictions on Tier 1 capital treatment of trust preferred securities that were enacted by the Dodd-Frank Act to impact the Tier 1 capital status of the Trust Preferred Capital Notes, as the Dodd-Frank Act’s restrictions generally do not apply to trust preferred securities issued prior to enactment by institutions with fewer than $15 billion in assets.
     Bankshares is considered “well capitalized” as of March 31, 2011, December 31, 2010 and March 31, 2010. The following table shows our capital categories, capital ratios and the minimum capital ratios currently required by bank regulators:

     The regulatory risk based capital guidelines establish minimum capital levels for the Bank to be deemed “well capitalized.” The guidelines for “well capitalized” call for a leverage ratio of 5.0%, tier 1 risk based capital ratio of 6.0% and total risk based capital ratio of 10.0%. As of March 31, 2011, the Bank had capital ratios of 7.8%, 12.0% and 13.3%, respectively, all in excess of the regulatory minimums to be “well capitalized.” The Bank and Bankshares continuously monitor the capital levels and the risk profile of the entities to determine if capital levels are sufficient for the risk profiles of the organization.

     Concentrations. Substantially all of Bankshares’ loans, commitments and standby letters of credit have been granted to customers located in the greater Washington, D.C. Metropolitan region, primarily in the Northern Virginia area. Bankshares’ overall business includes a significant focus on real estate activities, including real estate lending, title companies and real estate settlement businesses. As of March 31, 2011, commercial real estate loans were 43.8% and residential real estate loans were 33.6% of the total gross loan portfolio. In addition, a substantial portion of our noninterest bearing deposits is generated by our title and escrow company clients. As of March 31, 2011, the noninterest bearing deposits were 29.7% of total deposits. The impact of the title and escrow company concentration can create more volatility in our funding mix, especially during periods of declines in the real estate market, which can have an impact on organizational profitability.
Off-Balance Sheet Activities
     As of March 31, 2011, there are no material changes to the off-balance sheet arrangements disclosed in Bankshares’ Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010.

     Recent Accounting Pronouncements — In January 2010, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2010-06, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (Topic 820): Improving Disclosures about Fair Value Measurements.” ASU 2010-06 amends Subtopic 820-10 to clarify existing disclosures, require new disclosures, and includes conforming amendments to guidance on employers’ disclosures about postretirement benefit plan assets. ASU 2010-06 is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2009, except for disclosures about purchases, sales, issuances, and settlements in the roll forward of activity in Level 3 fair value measurements. Those disclosures are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2010 and for interim periods within those fiscal years. The adoption of the new guidance did not have a material impact on Bankshares’ consolidated financial statements.
     In July 2010, the FASB issued ASU 2010-20, “Disclosures about the Credit Quality of Financing Receivables and the Allowance for Credit Losses.” The new disclosure guidance significantly expands the existing requirements and will lead to greater transparency into a company’s exposure to credit losses from lending arrangements. The extensive new disclosures of information as of the end of a reporting period will become effective for both interim and annual reporting periods ending on or after December 15, 2010. Specific disclosures regarding activity that occurred before the issuance of the ASU, such as the allowance roll forward and modification disclosures will be required for periods beginning on or after December 15, 2010. Bankshares has included the required disclosures in its consolidated financial statements.
     In December 2010, the FASB issued ASU 2010-29, “Disclosure of Supplementary Pro Forma Information for Business Combinations.” The guidance requires pro forma disclosure for business combinations that occurred in the current reporting period as though the acquisition date for all business combinations that occurred during the year had been as of the beginning of the annual reporting period. If comparative financial statements are presented, the pro forma information should be reported as though the acquisition date for all business combinations that occurred during the current year had been as of the beginning of the comparable prior annual reporting period. ASU 2010-29 is effective for business combinations for which the acquisition date is on or after the beginning of the first annual reporting period beginning on or after December 15, 2010. Early adoption is permitted. The adoption of the new guidance did not have a material impact on Bankshares’ consolidated financial statements.
     In December 2010, the FASB issued ASU 2010-28, “When to Perform Step 2 of the Goodwill Impairment Test for Reporting Units with Zero or Negative Carrying Amounts.” The amendments in this ASU modify Step 1 of the goodwill impairment test for reporting units with zero or negative carrying amounts. For those reporting units, an entity is required to perform Step 2 of the goodwill impairment test if it is more likely than not that a goodwill impairment exists. For public entities, the amendments in this update are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2010. Early adoption is not permitted. The adoption of the new guidance did not have a material impact on Bankshares’ consolidated financial statements.
     The SEC has issued Final Rule No. 33-9002, “Interactive Data to Improve Financial Reporting,” which requires companies to submit financial statements in XBRL (extensible business reporting language) format with their SEC filings on a phased-in schedule. Large accelerated filers and foreign large accelerated filers using U.S. GAAP were required to provide

Table of Contents

interactive data reports starting with their first quarterly report for fiscal periods ending on or after June 15, 2010. All remaining filers are required to provide interactive data reports starting with their first quarterly report for fiscal periods ending on or after June 15, 2011. Bankshares is currently assessing the impact that the final rule will have on its consolidated financial statements.
     In March 2011, the SEC issued Staff Accounting Bulletin (SAB) 114. This SAB revises or rescinds portions of the interpretive guidance included in the codification of the Staff Accounting Bulletin Series. This update is intended to make the relevant interpretive guidance consistent with current authoritative accounting guidance issued as a part of the FASB’s Codification. The principal changes involve revision or removal of accounting guidance references and other conforming changes to ensure consistency of referencing through the SAB Series. The effective date for SAB 114 is March 28, 2011. The adoption of the new guidance did not have a material impact on Bankshares’ consolidated financial statements.
     In April 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-02, “A Creditor’s Determination of Whether a Restructuring Is a Troubled Debt Restructuring.” The amendments in this ASU clarify the guidance on a creditor’s evaluation of whether it has granted a concession to a debtor. They also clarify the guidance on a creditor’s evaluation of whether a debtor is experiencing financial difficulty. The amendments in this update are effective for the first interim or annual period beginning on or after June 15, 2011. Early adoption is permitted. Retrospective application to the beginning of the annual period of adoption for modifications occurring on or after the beginning of the annual adoption period is required. As a result of applying these amendments, an entity may identify receivables that are newly considered to be impaired. For purposes of measuring impairment of those receivables, an entity should apply the amendments prospectively for the first interim or annual period beginning on or after June 15, 2011. Bankshares is currently assessing the impact that ASU 2011-02 will have on its consolidated financial statements.

     Asset Liability Management (ALM) Risk Management. We engage a consulting firm to model our short-term and long-term interest rate risk profile. The model includes basic business assumptions, interest rates, repricing information and other relevant market data necessary to project our interest rate risk. The Board of Directors has established interest rate risk limits for both short-term and long-term interest rate exposure. On a periodic basis, management reports to the Board of Directors on our base interest rate risk profile and expectations of changes in the profiles based on certain interest rate shocks.
     Net Interest Income Sensitivity (Short-term Interest Rate Risk). Bankshares’ ALM process evaluates the effect of upward and downward changes in market interest rates on future net interest income. This analysis involves shocking the interest rates used in determining net interest income over the next twelve months. The resulting percentage change in net interest income in various rate scenarios is an indication of Bankshares’ shorter-term interest rate risk. This analysis is accomplished by assuming a static balance sheet over a period of time with maturing and repayment dollars being rolled back into like instruments for new terms at current market rates. Additional assumptions are applied to modify volumes and pricing under various

rate scenarios. These assumptions include prepayments, the sensitivity of non-maturity deposit rates, and other factors deemed significant by Bankshares.
     The ALM model results for March 31, 2011 are shown in the table below. Assuming an immediate upward shift in market interest rates of 100 basis points, the results indicate Bankshares would expect net interest income to increase over the next twelve months by 5.1%. Assuming a shift downward of 100 basis points, Bankshares would expect net interest income to decrease over the next twelve months by 1.8%.
     Economic Value of Equity (Long-term Interest Rate Risk). The economic value of equity process models the cashflows of financial instruments to maturity. The model incorporates growth and pricing assumptions to develop a baseline EVE. The interest rates used in the model are then shocked for an immediate increase or decrease in interest rates. The results of the shocked model are compared to the baseline results to determine the percentage change in EVE under the various scenarios. The resulting percentage change in EVE is an indication of the longer term repricing risk and options embedded in the balance sheet.
     The table below shows as of March 31, 2011, ALM model results under various interest rate shocks:
                 
    March 31, 2011  
Interest Rate Shocks   NII     EVE  
-200 bp
    -6.6 %     4.4 %
-100 bp
    -1.8 %     3.0 %
+100 bp
    5.1 %     -4.7 %
+200 bp
    10.3 %     -7.6 %
 
               
All results above are within Bankshares current interest rate risk policy guidelines.
     Interest Rate Gap. In addition to the NII and EVE models, management reviews our “static” gap position. The cumulative negative gap position within one year was $68.7 million, or 12.8% of total assets, at March 31, 2011. While this measurement technique is common in the financial services industry, it has limitations and is not our sole tool for measuring interest rate sensitivity. We do not believe this model accurately reflects Bankshares’ true short-term and long-term interest rate exposure. As an example, $113.2 million of the investment and trading securities at March 31, 2011 are classified as greater than five years due to the contractual maturity of the instruments. Investment and trading securities are easily marketed and can be liquidated in a short period of time. As a result, it is reasonable to consider a portion of, or perhaps all of, the $113.2 million of investment and trading securities as the “within three month” category, which further suggests a more balanced short-term interest rate position for Bankshares.

     Interest Rate Risk Management Summary. As part of our interest rate risk management, we typically use the trading and investment portfolios and our wholesale funding instruments to balance our interest rate exposure. There is no guarantee that the risk management techniques and balance sheet management strategies we employ will be effective in periods of rapid rate movements or extremely volatile periods. We believe our strategies are prudent and within our policy guidelines in the base case of our modeling efforts as of March 31, 2011.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures
     We have disclosure controls and procedures to ensure that the information required to be disclosed in the reports that we file or submit under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the Exchange Act) is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and regulations, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Our management evaluated, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Exchange Act) as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are effective as of March 31, 2011.
     Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that our disclosure controls and procedures will detect or uncover every situation involving the failure of persons within Bankshares to disclose material information required to be set forth in our periodic reports.
     No changes in our internal control over financial reporting occurred during the quarter ended March 31, 2011 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting
